Pilot watches
Not true. Mechanical watches keep worse time.

Tom Cruise Stunt
Looks like the air deflectors are stowed in some of the shots. Tom Cruise may be a foolish Scientologist, but this is cool.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
FYSA, DOPMA is the law that governs officer promotions. It's been discussed in the PRF and non-continuation threads. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Officer_Personnel_Management_Act https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_or_out

Electronic flight bags could boost operational safety, effectiveness
You'll not find it useful in the jet. Maybe at enroute stops, but Baseopses and FBOs have everything you'd need.

Muslims don't wear turbans. That's a Sikh.

F-35 Lightning info
An article written by a grad student with a pilot slot. "Jonathan Miller recently completed an MA Strategic Studies at Aberystwyth Universitys Department of International Politics. Soon embarking on a career in military aviation, his primary interests are airpower strategy, information warfare, air/sea battle doctrine, and the concept of "officership" as a profession."

Drone Pilots: We Don’t Get No Respect
I think the majority of the complaints originate from the spouse, particularly the ones who haven't made friends at the husband's new duty station. A wife who spends most of the day alone/with kids while the husband is gone will start hating life no matter the location. That's why the spouses' club is so important for the health of a squadron.

Trucks
Apparently the direct injection allows for this, even though the turbos are pushing 12psi. The fuel and air aren't mixed until they're in the chamber, so there's less chance of knocking. Pretty sweet.

Trucks
I'm not sure if the current generation of turbocharged aluminum DOHC truck engines will be as reliable as the old cast iron OHV V-8s.

Ha, that's great. Later on it talks about how the Program Manager for the one of the failed digital conversion projects was an English Lit major. By his own admission he didn't understand what the contractor was even doing.

Iraq in state of emergency - Mosul overrun by militants; government flees;
Here's the problem Vertigo, the radical Muslims trying to establish a Caliphate aren't simply looking to be left alone to live life as they see fit. They want the rest of us, as varied and diverse as we are, to be assimilated completely into their way of life. If they had their way, the Islam police would be rolling down every street in the world enforcing their interpretation of the Koran. They're against multiculturalism more than anyone here.
